There are benefits and drawbacks to every type of society. In ours, we have a higher rate of crime, but we can name our pets anything we want. They have less freedom as their religion provides a lot of structure, but they also have a less crime.

Maybe the fact they enforce penalties against criminal's has as much to do with their less crime as their religion. They don't reward criminals like we do here.

Ron,
Yep - I wouldn't mind using a couple of elements of Sharia law. If you know you are going to get a hand chopped off for stealing then chances are you would be a lot less inclined to steal.

Although - these days they would then just go on permanent disability and live off of our taxes for the rest of their lives.

Bloody hell! We just can't win!

Steve,

For once we are in total agreement. There just seems to be no way to win. Unless we go to Folsom Prison and sue them for locking us in a cell like that guy did.
